<h2>Append data to an existing CTD Profile dataset<a class="headerlink" href="#append-data-to-an-existing-ctd-profile-dataset" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Use the TAMOC ambient module to append data to a CTD Profile object that has
already been created as in the other examples in this ./bin director. This
file demonstrates working with the data from the R/V Brooks McCall at Station
BM 54 on May 30, 2010, stored in the file /Raw_Data/ctd_BM54.cnv.</p>
<p>In this example, we compute a typical nitrogen profile and append that data 
to the data in the CTD dataset.</p>
<div class="section" id="notes">
<h3>Notes<a class="headerlink" href="#notes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Much of the input data in the script (e.g., columns to extract, column names,
lat and lon location data, date and time, etc.) is read by the user manually
from the header file of the CTD text file. These data are then hand-coded in
the script text. While it would be straightforward to automate this process
for a given format of CTD files, this step is left to the user to customize to
their own data sets.</p>
